Hunters
The existence of hunters goes back to at least [[La bête du Gévaudan]]. It's unclear if there were hunters before the first Argent took down le bete. But since that time, the Argent family, as presumably others, have dedicated themselves to protecting humanity from supernatural threats. The Argents, in particular, follow [[the Code]].
In the Teen Wolf universe, werewolves are not weakened, susceptible to silver in any form. The popular legend of werewolves being killed by silver is actually a bastardization of the Argent family of werewolf hunters being effective at their job over the centuries. Argent means "silver" in French. So it's not the metal 'silver' that kills werewolves, but the family.
Hunters don't limit themselves to[[Werewolf]][[werewolf|werewolves]]. The Argents have an entire [[bestiary]] of beings, things that they have encountered, hunted and killed through the centuries.
Their main weapons are [[bows]] and [[crossbows]], because[[Werewolf]][[shapeshifting+shapeshifters|werewolves]] will remain in human form with pain and can't heal with the arrow is still in. A bullet, which would pass through their bodies, wouldn't have nearly as lasting an effect unless it were a [[wolfsbane+bullet|wolfsbane bullet]]. Hunters also make use of [[tasers]], because electricity can prevent a werewolf from shifting and theywhile arenot as vulnerablesusceptible to the shock as a human.human being, they are still vulnerable to the shock.
